<p>Apple is taking new measures within iOS to prevent aftermarket battery swaps for the iPhone. As detailed by iFixit (https://www.ifixit.com/News/apple-is-locking-batteries-to-iphones-now), Apple has activated a “dormant software lock” in iOS that blocks features like Battery Health in Settings when an iPhone uses a battery that was not installed by Apple itself.</p>
